Persistence of Pam


 You’d think the dream wouldn’t last over fifty years

What is the statue of limitation on such? But there I was again this morning with Pam sitting with me and the left hand was on the thigh and I was sleeping in the dream and wondering if Pam was minding that I was putting my hand and rubbing her leg above the knee? And what did Eddie think who was sitting on her other side?


Squire Stove


 The high sixteen foot tongue and groove ceilings took a lot of heating. In the cold autumn's my father kept the Squire stove burning in the front room, usually overheating the room until we would have to open the dogtrot hall door and let the cold and hot air mix.  It was our natural thermostat. In earlier years before the Squire was installed, it was a constant run to the cold front porch to retrieve wood for the fireplace. The room we slept in had no heater and our vaporous snores resonated from beneath the many patchwork quilts.

Remember the lame

 Lord help us be the friend

That when all else abandon

We look back and say

Well, I’m here waiting.

Photo immersion


 I think I shall never see


I’m no big shot show off when it comes to photography. I prefer to not let anyone know I’m even toting a camera. I loathe going out with my overly big and heavy telephoto, as it’s akin to a fisherman fishing for brim with a marlin rig. 

I got great amusement watching this self absorbed photographer taking every angle possible of this one tree.

My Kentucky long


 Oh Kentucky, when I am lonely and the autumn breezes chill me, in your bluegrass hills I long to be, place of boyhood spills and college thrills, where ever I have roamed, from Florida's sands to West Virginia's mines, always it seems I am drawn, to the Kentucky I once called home.
